Dr. Li Jingxiang
Patients should go to the hospital as soon as possible for medical evaluation. There are various treatment options for hemorrhoids, depending on the severity of the condition. Patients should pay attention to their diet by consuming more foods rich in vitamins and fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, to prevent constipation. Regular physical activity is also recommended to enhance intestinal motility and reduce defecation time. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate hemorrhoid symptoms. For more severe cases, surgical treatments such as vascular ligation or hemorrhoidectomy may be considered.
